[yeah--maybe]

Whatever my brain is dealing with is causing me to clench my teeth so hard in my sleep that my jaw and gums hurt so bad. I've actually been taking ibuprofen to deal with the pain. It hurts to chew 😭

Does the language I'm learning make more sense when I'm tired because all the focus I can scrounge up is on the language or because my brain is legit mush so all info in my head is at rock bottom together? Who knowsss~

The misery of unlearning

When it comes to language learning, if children are sponges, adults are Teflon coated pans. Only after a lot of wear and tear things start to stick, and when they do, it’s usually a bit of a mess.

As a kid, all new information is absorbed because there are no set of rules to compare things to. Once your brain acquired a structure, everything else that follows will try to fit into the same mold.

For adults, diving into a second or nth language is often about unlearning. It’s almost impossible to compartmentalize your brain and stop inadequate pronunciation and grammar from getting through.

The way we communicate is never a complete fail, it usually just needs a different context.

(A life of juggling languages, everywhere)
